Is this tool easy to use for a first timer? How is it compared to others types of jigs?

I'd say easier and faster than single flething jigs. After about 2-3 arrows- they started looking perfect. I screwed up RH vs LH on the jig/fletching at first. Using Duco cement with wood arrows- works great and get my arrows out 3 times as fast.

Yes it is easy but use gel for adhesive. Gel is more forgiving for first timers. It is very difficult to use if you are fletching just 1 vane.

easy to use, just be careful with the glue and clean it with acetone when done

Super easy to use for a first timer. Just remember not to use too much adhesive. It spreads quite a bit when everything is tightened. There are 2 different ones, one for carbon and one for aluminum. Aluminum arrows are usually larger in diameter so get the one that is best suited to your needs. Comparatively, I would consider this one of the easier ones to use. I have 2 ez fletch jigs. Set one, by the time I'm done with the second one the first one is ready to come out and I just alternate until I'm finished.

Very easy some of the other jigs i couldn't even figure out with someone showing me. The Arizona ez Fletch is simple and my favorite so far

This fletcher is by far the BEST one i've ever used. I strongly suggest this over any others for the first timer or the pro. It really makes it beyond simple and you wont regret buying one!

Hands down the best. I'm a beginner as well and the saw has been accurate and easy to use.

Yes! Easy to use. I am a beginner and I could just grab it and start shooting.

You get the Drill Guide, The Drill Bit, the Depth Stop Collar, I believe and allen wrench for the stop collar, and some starter screws. The Jig itself is very nice and does work with the holder blue jig holder.

I've had this machine for about a year. I've made many quilts with free motion quilting and a few garments so far and have not had any problems. It is fairly simple to learn to use and has many features that a new sewer could "grow into" as they improve. It comes with many attachment, a nice money saver. It is a fairly heavy duty machine--I have sewed denim and twill. My opinion is it would be a good first machine because it has enough features and attachments that you would not need to upgrade to a more complex machine for quite a while as you learn sewing. It however only has one stretch stitch and doesn't embroider if these are important to you.

I looked at the Alaskan and the Granberg myself before settling on the less expensive Haddon jig. Bottom line is that if you want something that will give you more flexibility then I think the Haddon won't be right for you. Spend a couple hundred bucks more and get the deluxe saw jig. The one thing I don't like about the Haddon is the vertical cutting (hard on the back after awhile) versus the Alaskan which cuts horizontally.

The roatary tool (I call it a dremel) is way more versatile in terms of the materials it can cut through and how small its cuts can be. The jig will be better for longer cuts that need to be straight, but primarily in wood and you have to drill a hole to start with. If your tiles are in the wall, or made of anything other than wood or some similar hardness material, I would get the rotary tool. If you have them off the wall, a jig would serve you just as well.

I bought this with no experience what so ever and after watching a quick video, it was easy and natural. Great for beginners because it can take a beating and still stay sharp.

I don't believe so. It's a handy compact tool that is easy to have around but it wouldn't be my only jig saw. I have a Bosch corded one that I use for anything serious. That said, I use it several times a week.

Yes. It comes with instructions on where to place the jig, depending on how thick the wood is.

I bought one Grr-Gipper jig and have had no problem. On one occasion I would have been better off with two. I have never had a case where I would need any other aids to use the tapering Jig. Enjoy your tapering and your woodworking.

I like the Squirt better myself. I almost always prefer the original style tools to the skeletool/wave style. Still it depends on what you're going to use it for. Your best bet is to buy whatever has more of the tools you will personally find useful. For example, I personally almost never care whether my MT has a scissors, while for some people the folding scissors is the most important tool. My least favorite thing about the Style is that I can't get a knife and pliers in the same tool. But if say the tweezers are a key part of the tool for you, then maybe you would be better off with the Style PS. I like the Squirt better myself.

How does a jigsaw compare to a table saw? Its not a rotary tool. I find it well suited for precision cuts or cuts in tight spaces; but, not for long or deep cuts. Molding, door frames, sheet metal. I'd use it to remove grout; but wouldn't be my choice concrete.

The instructions are decent, but there are few YouTube videos online that explain it well. If you take your time to set it up, and practice a few cuts on scrap, its easy. I hadn't cut dovetails before using this and I am very happy with the results. I would definitely buy this again.

The best thing to do is watch the videos that are available on their website. They are very informative and helpful. Then do some practice cuts on scrap to get a feel on how to use the tool.

The tools are definitely equipped to get the job done, they are more user friendly and most likely not quite dentist quality but I'd recommend them for a first time user.

That happened to be my first project with this tool. It was a lot easier than 'hand banging'.
